Guten Tag! I hope you are all well, and have had a great start to 2021. We are nearing March, which will, unbelievably, mark one year since the start of the Coronavirus Pandemie<\/em> (pandemic) lockdown here in the UK. We have discussed the more serious matters regarding the pandemic throughout the year on this blog, but today\u2019s subject, although related, will be much lighter: we\u2019ll be talking about Zoom –<\/strong> more specifically, Zoom meetings in German!<\/p>\n

A year ago hardly anyone knew what Zoom was, but thanks to the pandemic it\u2019s become the go-to app for hosting video calls with friends, having work meetings, and even teaching and taking part in fitness classes and personal training sessions online! So as familiar as we may be with Zoom in our native languages, today we\u2019ll take a look at Zoom in Germany, and learn the vocabulary needed to navigate Zoom meetings in German \u2013 just for fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
